25043Paris 7 October 1821. Three pages 4to bifolium good condition. An elegant handwriting. Allow me to present yo you Mr Grattan my country man - the author of Philibert a gentleman and a scholar. He has resided some time in France and is going to London perhaps more to ascertain what he can do there thro' the medium of his literary invocations for the benefit of his Wife and young Family than with any fixed object or well arranged plan.

I am quite aware how rarely it can happen to find you without a long list of applicants for a connexion with your highly popular and valuable Establishment and I know also the praise-worthy anxiety with which you so liberally protect and give the preference to your old acquaintance - your faithful and talented assistant but yet with this knowledge as there must be occasional vacancies and changes in all such extensive concerns I give Mr Grattan this introduction which from your polite and friendly attention to me at all times I venture to hope will dispose you to receive kindly his visit tho' it should not at once procure for him that connexion with you he would naturally be so desirous to establish should he happen to determine upon residing in London. .".

1809373329Robert Graves London Undated c.1809. Unframed Print. Very Good Condition. Robert Graves was renowned for his historical engravings which often depicted military figures and events. This particular illustration portrays Corporal Thomas Brown in 18th-century military attire. He is dressed in a distinguished uniform featuring a buttoned coat a sash across his chest and a striking tricorn hat an iconic piece of both military and civilian fashion of the time. His rank is indicated by the cord on his right shoulder. The tricorn was not just a stylish accessory; it served a practical purpose shedding rain and providing an unobstructed field of vision.Corporal Thomas Brown gained fame for his remarkable bravery during the Battle of Dettingen in 1743 a conflict within the War of the Austrian Succession. As a member of Kings Own Regiment Dragoons Blands Dragoons Brown demonstrated extraordinary courage by reclaiming his regiments standard after it had fallen into enemy hands. In the heat of battle he lost two horses beneath him and sustained grievous injuries including the loss of two fingers and most of his nose. Despite these wounds he fought his way through enemy lines recovered the standard and returned it to his regiment earning enthusiastic cheers from his fellow soldiers.His heroism was later recognized by King George II who awarded him a gold-topped walking stick a silver prosthetic nose and a pension. After retiring from military service Brown settled in Yarm where he ran an inn named after himself. He passed away in 1746 and was laid to rest in St Mary Magdalenes Church where his marked grave remains today. This unmounted image is approx 10 x 15 cms the sheet overall is 20 x 28 cms.
